It's amazing to think that the first Fast & Furious movie was released in 2001. Back then, people didn't know what to expect from the film. No one would have expected that the single film would later spawn a billion-dollar franchise as well as inspire a generation of moviegoers to develop a love for fast cars.
Ahead of the 2021 People's Choice Awards on December 7, the franchise's tentpole, Vin Diesel, went on Instagram to thank the series' fans and to campaign hard for F9.
F9 receives several nominations for People's Choice Awards
The Fast and Furious movies have never been critical darlings. 5 of the 10 films have received a "Rotten" rating on Rotten Tomatoes with only 2 movies receiving a "Certified Fresh" rating. The latest installment, F9, only got a measly 59% score on the review aggregate website. However, despite its relatively low score, F9 still managed to post a worldwide gross of $721 million at the global box office - the highest for a non-Chinese film this year.
